Listen, I love mystery bags. Mystery pin sets, Wishables, Munchlings, I’m here for a little surprise when I open a small package. Over in the Japan Pavilion in EPCOT, we found a new mystery trinket that we think is going to be popular.
Mystery time!
The Japan Pavilion is one of the best places to shop in EPCOT. It’s filled with so many fun items and every time I need a gift for someone, I head straight here. Pause the gift giving because you’re going to want to keep these all for yourself.
Over in Gachapon Corner, we found these adorable vending machines that look like they’re straight from Japan (well, they probably are!). I’ve become very familiar with these little dudes during my trips to Japan, and to find these in EPCOT is both a blessing and a curse!!! I will now officially be BROKE thanks to these Gachapon machines!
In the Japan Pavilion
We paid and then turned the dial, creating an incredible nostalgic experience, and received our little toy. There are lots to choose from, and we went for a Hello Kitty one.
So many options
The toys come unassembled so you get the joy of building it and then BOOM, you get a little figurine. Will you be collecting them all?
Gotta assemble!
We got Cinnamoroll, one of my FAVORITE Sanrio characters, and it looks like an ice cream sundae themed to the beach. Too cute!
Okay, we love him
From the machine we tried, there were four different options, so we might just have to come back and try to get them all.
Should we collect all four?
While you’re there in the Japan Pavilion, you should check out the Mitsukoshi Department Store, too. There’s a pearl picking experience, tons of cute stuffed animals from your favorite shows and video games, and some super fun snacks to try in the back.
Inside Mitsukoshi
With the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival coming up, we’re getting ready to explore the World Showcase in search of food booths with new treats to try. Maybe our little Cinnamoroll will come with us during our adventures!
